View Full Version : Just the point?

Quick question.

I got a beautiful 6# point at the butcher today. I'm smoking it tomorrow, but the prob is that I got called into work and need to leave by 3 PM. I've never done just the point without the flat, and I have no idea when to start to get it done before work (with time to eat).

Planning on using the Backyard Jambo at about 250-ish. I'd like to do 270-275, but it always seems to settle in at 250. Any rough guesses on how long?

Also, and more importantly. I usually just do a simple rub, salt, pepper, etc, but I was thinking about saucing this guy at the end. I don't want to go too sweet or overpowering. Any saucing strategies that won't hurt my Texas sensibilities?

Thanks much,

Howard.

If it was me I'd put it on the pit at 250 for 4 hrs. Wrap it in plastic wrap put it on a sheet pan and into a 190 deg oven when you have to leave for work it will be Awesome when you get home. I'm not big on Sauce but I like these two on Brisket.

Just did a small (3 lb.) point. Took 4 hrs, 45 min. at 270° with waterpan. Foiled at 165° for the final 2 hrs of the cook and rested for 3 hrs. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2497974

Keeping both handy, but I'm going to try a little of Blu's Black Gold. Looks really interesting and different.

WHICH Cholula hot sauce?:mrgreen: Seriously though, which one. We have about 4 different kinds in our pantry. (Goes to look...) OK, have original, chipotle and chili lime.
